Solve the Fraction Subtraction: 5/6 minus 2/6

Solve the following exercise:

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\text{?}$

In this problem, $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6}$, we are tasked with subtracting two fractions with the same denominator.

Steps to solve the fraction problem:

• Step 1: Confirm that the denominators are the same. Here, both are 6.
• Step 2: Subtract the numerators. Take the numerator of the first fraction $5$ and subtract the numerator of the second fraction $2$. The calculation is $5 - 2 = 3$.
• Step 3: Place the result over the common denominator. This gives us $\frac{3}{6}$.
• Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible. Here, $\frac{3}{6}$ can be simplified to $\frac{1}{2}$, but since the problem does not require simplification and a matching choice exists, we can leave it as is.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{3}{6}$.
